This leading hotel on Tobago is located amidst over four hectares
of well-tended tropical gardens. It provides the ultimate vacation
in a casually elegant setting. Great care was taken by the
architectural firm of Cooper & Gardner in designing the hotel. The
goal was to produce a dramatic statement which was clearly
reflective of Trinidad & Tobago's unique architectural iconography.
On offer are a total of 135 rooms, suites, and villas. The
breathtaking lobby is appointed with hand-made terracotta tiles,
elegant curved staircases, palms of almost 10 m in height,
fountains, and statues. It is the perfect setting in which to enjoy
incredible views of the Caribbean Sea with its gentle waves and
azure waters. Facilities include a 24-hour reception, a hotel safe,
a currency exchange counter and a cloakroom. Guests may also take
advantage of the café, the hairdresser, the nightclub, two
restaurants, "Tamaras" and "Bacchanals", which profit from an
incredible selection of local produce, two bars, "The Gallery" and
"Bobsters", and conference facilities. Room and laundry services
are also available, and there is parking for those arriving by
car.
